The top U.S. military commander in northern Iraq said Friday he plans to do "absolutely nothing" to counter Kurdish rebels operating from the region and staging deadly cross-border attacks into Turkey.

Im guessing here that they are our allies. Even if we officially label them terrorists, they are our allies!


Maj. Gen. Benjamin Mixon said it's not the U.S. military's responsibility to act. He said that he's sent no additional U.S. troops to the area and he's not tracking hiding places or logistics activities of the PKK rebels.

He also has not seen Kurdish Iraqi authorities move against the rebels either, Mixon told Pentagon reporters by videoconference from a U.S. base near Tikrit in northern Iraq.

Hmm, we will just ignore the problem. Maybe it will go away!!


Asked if he has detected PKK supply lines running through his area that Iraqi authorities could curtail, he said, "That would be speculation ... I don't track the specific locations of the PKK. So you'd have to ask somebody else."

I told yo,,we are ignoring the problem!!!


Asked if he is planning any action against the rebels, Mixon said:

"Absolutely nothing."

I just told yo, we are ignoring the problem. Hoping it will go away!
I work for Bush and if it doesnt have to do with Iran we dont discuss it!!

Does he think he has any responsibility to try to avoid a Turkish incursion into the north? "I have not been given any requirements or any responsibility for that," he said.

But if terrorists are operating in his region, came another question, why not get involved?

"Let me put it to you very clearly," he answered. The provincial Kurdish authorities have their own Peshmerga militia, Mixon and, "it's their responsibility" in three northern provinces of Iraq.

Why is it we dont bring our troops home? Im confused, I thought it was to keep other countries from invading and taking over!!


He said no one has specifically told him to ignore the rebel problem, "But I hadn't been given instructions to do anything about it, either."

I told you damnit. I work for Bush! We are ignoring the problem!!


If he were ordered to do something, would he have enough U.S. troops?

"That's a hypothetical question," Mixon replied. "I haven't studied it.

Look, Im tired of telling you Bush, Ignore, get it!!

"I haven't been given any instructions that would even vaguely resemble what you just mentioned," the general said. "So I don't see any sense in talking about it."

He says, "He said no one has specifically told him to ignore the rebel problem."

I ask, why is the KPP a rebel organization and everyone else are terrorists?

Lets redefine the word terrorist again! Someone want to help?

From your article Fanta:

'... I work for Bush and if it doesnt have to do with Iran we dont discuss it!!! '

It is hard to beleive that while a second illegal war is building-up under our very eyes, all evidence is pointing in that direction, including this week's declaration of the Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group, most people, it seems, buy complasantly into the propaganda.

Declaring the Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard a terrorist group, is very serious piece of demagogy. With the IIRG on the post 9/11 terrorist list, it gives the US full 'legitimacy' to attack Iran for hosting terrorist groups!!!

This is serious!!! Iran has no means of threatening anyone. The US on the other hand, is toying with serious World War material. That is a world threat. reminds me of your
‘… You have to love this idea!!! ’ post yesterday.

China, and Russia studied the Iraq fiasco very closely, and wisely staid clear of it. But they will not let the war mongering nutcases in Washington get away with further disruption in the Middel-East, regardless of the US’s self-serving war industry hunger, and oil industry thirst. It’s a matter of balance among gluttons!

Seams are as tight as can be!

maybe we need to reach the point where we admit that our
government WANTS a world war...and are actively working
toward that end...when you examine all the talk & action as
of late what else can you deduce from these maniacs...

they would rather have a world war than have to face an
implosion of the world economies...what better way to avoid
this ....
